i was wondering if anyone had bought one of these b16-b18 motor swap guides off ebay. i am currently between a rock and a hard place trying to find someone to swap the motor in my car in texas for a reasonable price and dont want to spend all my time when i get back looking for someone to do so. i was wondering if anybody had purchased one of these disc and if the guide was really worth the money spent on it. please let me know. thanks

They are a rip off. You can find the info online for free, so why pay for it. Here's some links that should help you:

If you're putting in a newer engine ('96+) this will help:

Other than that it depends on which model car you have (cx, vx, ex, dx, lx, si), ans what specific engine you're putting in.
